Influence of Tectonic and Geological Structure on GIC in Southern South Island, New Zealand by M. Ingham, K. Pratscher, W. Heise, E. Bertrand, M. Kruglyakov, C. J. Rodger

“…Abstract As part of a 5‐year project to assess the risk posed by geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) to the New Zealand electrical transmission network, long‐period magnetotelluric (MT) measurements have been made at 62 sites in southern South Island of New Zealand, a region where there was an absence of previous MT data. The data are largely 3‐dimensional in character, but show distinct features that can be related to the known tectonic and geological structure. …”
